Probably the most luxurious tented lodge
in Tanzania, Kirawira Camp sits on a hilltop shrouded with
vegetation and bestowed with outstanding panoramic views of
the rolling plains and surrounding acacia groves of the Serengeti's
Western Corridor. The proximity of nature is enhanced by the
open-sided architecture of the public areas, most notably
the dinning room and the bar/lounge.
Accommodation consists of 25 upmarket sleeping
tents, each with a private terrace and en-suite bathroom.
Décor takes inspiration from the Victorian era, blended
with African-style crafts and materials. Typical Edwardian
furniture, tented canvas, Persian rugs, African art, leather-bound
travelling cases, brass shooting sticks, native wood, and
carved rocking chairs, graciously assembled throughout the
guest and public tents, evoke a time of explorers and adventurous
travellers. Besides the restaurant and bar/lounge, there is
a gift shop and a small but lavish swimming pool.
As with Grumeti River Camp, Kirawira Camp
offers its best from May to late July, when game viewing enjoys
not only the resident animals, but also a significant portion
of the migratory herds of herbivores (and accompanying predators),
as they cross the Western Corridor on their yearly quest to
reach the fresh pastures of the Masai
Mara.
Activities include morning and evening game
drives, crocodile viewing along the Grumeti river (which runs
just north of the camp), and visits to neighbouring local
communities.
